Chapter 467 Asking Prices

However, Gao Dashang and his party lived in the open all the way, hurried all the way from the east, and traveled more than 100,000 kilometers in less than 20 days. The hard work involved is unimaginable. Even if you are a cultivator, it is tiring to travel like this.

After arriving in the west of Fertile Land, they did not immediately come to Dayang Group, but first observed the confrontation between Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect, then observed the development of many western countries, and finally came to Qixia country, and hired a local guide from the country of Qixia.

Finally, I took the train and came to Changshan Town; I didn’t want to see the scene of the hydrogen balloon falling just after I came here.

The 50-meter-high hydrogen balloon is still very shocking-higher than the surrounding hills. Especially this 'huge monster' fluttered down from the sky; then, it finally stopped landing at a height of just over half a meter from the ground, just suspended in mid-air.

Two figures jumped out of the hanging basket below, talking and laughing as they walked towards the nearby building.

"It's a hot air balloon!" said the tour guide, with a slight disapproval in his tone: "This is the most useless thing Dayang Group has researched. It is said that two dowry maids presided over this research. Dayang Group has no No secrecy at all, anyone can see it."

Although Gao Shang is smart, after listening to the tour guide, and looking at the 'hot air balloon', there seems to be not many people around, and even the defense force is very loose. This seems to further prove that the hot air balloon is useless - Dayang Group itself does not take it seriously !

It's a pity that sometimes people tend to overlook a very important issue-what is not necessarily unimportant at the moment. Hydrogen gas, hydrogen balloons, high-altitude capture of spiritual energy, etc., any one of which is disclosed is enough to cause shocks in the world. It's a pity that these things are left in front of us like this, but everyone didn't find out.

Gao Dashang observed for a while before moving on. He didn't visit Zhang Hao or Dayang Group directly, but first found out the location of Li's family and visited him.

When Li Yousheng heard that the visitor had brought Li Yuanyuan's letter, he sat up with a quick swipe, and his eyes lit up a little. It's been two years, there's been no news for two full years, it's a lie to say I'm not worried.

Li Yousheng almost made two steps in three steps... No, the soles of his feet were suspended on the ground, and he floated out with a whoosh.

Outside the gate, Gao Gaoshang looked at Li Yousheng's hasty expression and smiled proudly: This is what you want!

When Li Yousheng came to the door, he stopped, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Gao Shang with the brightest smile on his face. "I don't know how to call you friends?"

"Gao Gao Shang." Gao Gao Shang smiled lightly, the smile looked friendly, but there was an indescribable arrogance, "Yuanyuan still wants to call me uncle."

In other words, we are peers. And since I am Li Yuanyuan's uncle, do you want me to take care of her? Do me some favors! Gao Dashang spoke very incisively, but a simple sentence contained too much content.

When Li Yousheng heard this, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic: "I see. Please come inside!"

Then he told the people around him to hurry to prepare the dinner. At this time, the sky is already dusk, which is a good time for dinner.

When Gao Dashang entered the living room and sat down, he immediately took out Li Yuanyuan's family letter from the storage ring: "Brother Li, this is Yuanyuan's letter."

In just a few words, they have already started calling each other brothers, but Li Yousheng happily accepted it.

He took the letter with both hands excitedly, opened it and read it, a kind smile appeared on Li Yousheng's face.

Li Yuanyuan explained the gains along the way and the little things she was happy with in a concise style. In the end, she said that although she misses her parents, she still wants to be an excellent daughter. After the Nascent Soul Stage, she will return to glory! And told my parents, don't worry; I also told my young brothers to work hard, the outside world is very big.

Li Yousheng read the letter twice, repeatedly and slowly, for a full moment.

Gao Gaoshang didn't care, he sipped his tea slowly, but he was also looking at Li Yousheng - Li Yousheng's performance at this time was completely noticed by Gao Gaoshang, and he already had a general response framework in his mind.

When Li Yousheng finally read the letter and apologized in embarrassment, Gao Gao didn't say anything, but talked about the meeting and communication with Li Yuanyuan, of course it was interesting.

Finally Gao Shang said: "Her master Tang Chenying and I are old acquaintances. Yuanyuan is the most serious girl I have ever met."

Practicing seriously...doesn't mean practicing fast. But what Gao Shang said is beautiful. This made Li Yousheng excited again, and the distance between the two got closer.

By the time the dinner started, the two had already called each other Brother Li and Brother Xian. The poor and excited Li Yousheng didn't even think about it. You can reach the stage of transforming gods, why do people call you brothers and sisters? !

Speaking of which, Li Yousheng was able to become the Nascent Soul Stage, thanks to the opportunity obtained by the Dayang Group from Xuanzhen Sect, and Li Yousheng was one of the first people to achieve the Nascent Soul Stage.

After the dinner was over, Gao Dashang finally revealed his real purpose - the steel warship technology of the Dayang Group had spread to the east. Our Majesty was very curious and wanted to buy a few warships. I wonder if brother Li can help introduce Zhang Hao?

Obviously, he holds a letter of recommendation from Li Yuanyuan in his hand, but Gao Gao still wants Li Yousheng to recommend him!

After all, Li Yuanyuan is a junior, and there is only one dry recommendation letter, which is really not very useful. If Li Yousheng can personally recommend... tsk tsk...

As for Li Yousheng, when he heard such a 'small request', he immediately said: "No problem! It's not too late, we'll visit right now."

"Will it be inappropriate?" Gao Gaoshang was secretly happy, but on the surface he began to be hypocritical.

"No, no! If we visit tomorrow, Zhang Hao doesn't know where he's going. Recently, Dayang Group has a lot of things to do. The sooner we visit, the better."

So Li Yousheng asked his subordinates to notify Zhang Hao as soon as possible, wait for a while, and set off with Gao Shang.

When I saw Zhang Hao, it was already 20 o'clock in the evening; Zhang Hao had just come out of the secret laboratory. Recently, the spirit energy studied by Huang Mingshan and others has made great progress, and it is only one step away from its final form.

However, Li Yousheng personally sent someone to inform that Zhang Hao had to leave the research base when a distinguished guest came to visit.

In the living room, Gao Dashang saw Zhang Hao, the young president of Dayang Group who had already propped up a sky. This year, Zhang Hao is 20 years old.

After we met, Gao Dashang moved Li Yuanyuan out again, and said that Li Yuanyuan wrote himself a letter of recommendation before leaving.

Zhang Hao read the letter, and the elegant font seemed to reveal this kind of faint homesickness. Li Yuanyuan said it very implicitly, but emphasized that Gundam is not bad.

Since there are recommendations from the Li family's father and daughter, Zhang Hao is of course enthusiastic; but relationships are relationships, and business is business.

When Gao Dashang proposed to buy a steel warship, Zhang Hao denied it.

"Why?!" Gao Dashang was stunned.

Zhang Hao pointed to the nautical chart on the wall, which was developed from Kuodixiang, but the west coast of Fertile Earth Island and the west coast of Taotu Island have been improved a lot. There are more routes on it.

This chart is not used internally by Dayang Group, it is a low-precision map specially displayed to the public. But it's enough to show.

Zhang Hao pointed to the nautical chart and said: "At present, our warships mainly use fuel oil. The maximum voyage of fuel oil warships, including the return journey, is 20,000 kilometers.

From our place to the east, the sea road is tortuous, and it is estimated to be no less than 110,000 kilometers! The battleship can't go at all. "

Gao Dashang showed a confident smile: "I also asked about this. I heard that Dayang Group also has a technology driven by spirit stones?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "There is indeed such a technology, but because we have been developing fuel technology, the spirit stone drive technology is not mature, the power is weak, and the spirit stone consumption is high. Its energy consumption is 500 times that of fuel oil!"

Five hundred times, do you know what this concept is?

This means that using spirit stones as power, ocean trade is not profitable at all, and even loses money. "

In fact, Dayang Group's Lingshi-driven technology is of course mature. Now Dayang Group's own warships all have Lingshi-driven steam turbines as backup and auxiliary power. But this thing, as long as you know it yourself, so that you can ask for a lot of money!

Also, the cost of spirit stones is indeed high, but only more than two hundred times, not as exaggerated as more than five hundred times. The reason why Zhang Hao said this is that he is not prepared to provide excellent technology.

Gao Dashang pondered for a long time, these news obviously cannot be inquired by the outside world. After a while, he said, "How long would it take to build a steel warship driven by spirit stones?"

Zhang Hao did not answer directly: "It will take at least one and a half months for us to build an Iron Duke-class warship. We have only tested the warship powered by spirit stones on the Zhiyuan, which has sunk. It has not been tested either. Moreover, the displacement of Zhiyuan is only 4,000 tons.

If we want to produce 10,000-ton battleships driven by spirit stones, we need certain technical research. I think it will take at least two months! "

Gao Dashang frowned: "Then can I buy your current finished battleship? Then refit it?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "In principle, it is possible. But in this case, the price will be high. You need to buy our finished warship first, and then we will refit it.

If it is completely converted to Lingshi power, many internal structures of the battleship will need to be changed. Moreover, the steam turbine driven by spirit stones is very expensive. The price of a steam turbine with output power equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul is as high as 3 million top-grade spirit stones.

Our current best Lingshi-driven steam turbine has an output power of 2.4 nascent infant stages. But the price... 10 million high-grade spirit stones! "

Gao Dashang took a deep breath. These quotations from Dayang Group are simply astronomical figures!
